About

National Wealth Management Group provides fee‑based investment advisory and financial planning services primarily to individual and high‑net‑worth clients and also advises retirement plans. Offerings span discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, retirement plan consulting, and ad‑hoc or hourly consulting engagements.

The firm emphasizes tailored asset allocation, portfolio construction and ongoing supervision with a generally long‑term focus while permitting shorter‑term trading for rebalancing, tax‑loss harvesting or options strategies when warranted. NWMG delivers advice through multiple advisory platforms and custodial arrangements — including sponsored LPL programs, Schwab and First Clearing relationships and newer access to Altruist — and uses model portfolios, SMAs and wrap arrangements depending on client needs.

What is distinctive about the firm is its affiliation with an accounting practice (Alpina Tax & Accounting Services) and the presence of licensed CPAs among its personnel, with formal cross‑referral practices that more directly integrate tax and accounting services with investment advice. The firm also offers estate‑planning intake through a third‑party digital provider and provides ERISA fiduciary retirement plan consulting, a combination of services that is less common among multi‑team peers.
